Encoders - RE30E-1000-213-1 Application Field and Working Principle

Encoders are essential instruments equipped in many production machines and applications for which accuracy and reliability are required. As such, their working principles and practical applications are various. The RE30E-1000-213-1, an absolute encoder from the RotaryEncoder Responsive series, is a great example of such instruments and has a wide range of possible uses. This article will explain the application fields and working principles of this encoder and introduce its features.

Application Field

The RE30E-1000-213-1 is an absolute rotary encoder with an impressive set of features like high performance, high reliability, and wide, continuous rotation. As such, it can be used in various settings, from computer equipment and medical systems through production machines and robotics up to linear movement systems.

Due to its strong construction, it is suitable for use in difficult environments such as harsh manufacturing processes or where power is connected to a microcontroller. Its robust construction can handle a lot of external pressure, making it suitable for automated machines, servo motors, and industrial positioning applications. It can also be used for safety purposes due to its safety monitoring system.

Apart from the applications mentioned above, it can also be used in optical systems and for coding, which can be used to accurately measure the linear movement transmitted from the encoder to a machine.

Working Principle

The working principle of the RE30E-1000-213-1 is based on its optical system. An optical disc rotates inside the encoder, and each revolution changes the reflected light signal in the rotation direction. As a result, a distinct code is created and two stable, absolute positioning pulses are detected, which can be processed by a machine.

The working principle of the RE30E-1000-213-1 is highly accurate. A linear error of only 0.2° equates to a maximum linear error of only 0.1mm and a cycle time of 18ms—which is incredibly precise even for the most delicate systems—is achieved with the RE30E-1000-213-1.

The RE30E-1000-213-1 also provides signals in large quantities. It can detect up to 6,000 steps per turn, which allows for extremely detailed measurements when coding and can eliminate some of the challenges posed by other encoders.

Conclusion

The RE30E-1000-213-1 is an optical rotary absolute encoder with impressive features to ensure high accuracy and reliability. It provides excellent precision and a wide range of applications, from production machines and industrial positioning to systems on computer equipment and medical devices. Besides, its ability to detect up to 6,000 steps per turn allows for extremely detailed measurements.

All in all, the RE30E-1000-213-1 encoder is an industrial grade device, reliable and long-lasting, and is able to meet any performance requirements.
